HOW TO COMMUNICATE IN A POLARIZED SOCIETY

How can we be good communicators when all public and private speech tends toward polarization?

Pope Francis proposes four behavioral aspects. First of all, do not argue with those who accuse and try to polarize, and try not to be confused by false contradictions.

Then, with deeds more than words, say “yes” to mercy as the highest paradigm; and do so in a maternal “dialect” that reaches the heart of every person in their own culture.

Pope Francis wrote to the Chilean bishops: “Brothers, ideas are discussed, situations are discerned. We are gathered to discern, not to discuss.”
